The Island of Shehkah is the starting location for newly created characters in the Nightfall campaign, spawning here after completing the character creation process. This is considered the tutorial area for Nightfall characters, and as such, characters are not able to return to this location after they leave. See the notes section below.

[edit] Getting there

New Nightfall characters appear here after creation. Non-Nightfall characters cannot get here.

[edit] Exits

• Chahbek Village (west, by talking to First Spear Jahdugar as part of a quest below)

[edit] Shrines

Resurrection shrines with a statue

• Avatar of Dwayna
  • Near the center (blessings cannot be obtained from this shrine)

[edit] Quests

• Kormir
  • Rally the Recruits (Tutorial) (tutorial for new players)
  • Into Chahbek Village (follow-up to the tutorial quest above)
  • Take the Shortcut (Skip Tutorial) (allows veteran players to skip the tutorial portion)

[edit] NPCs

[edit] Allies

• 2 Koss
• 20 Kormir
• 15 First Spear Jahdugar
• 2 Sunspear Recruit
• 2 Sunspear Recruit (two of them)

[edit] Foes

Humans

• Corsairs
  • 1 Corsair Buccaneer
  • 0 Corsair Spy
  • 1 Corsair Healer

[edit] Points of interest

• Weapons locker - as part of the tutorial for new characters, there will be a weapons locker that Kormir will tell the character to open. Clicking on it will drop a starter weapon appropriate for the character's profession:
  • Starter Sword, slashing damage 2-3
  • Starter Bow, piercing damage 3-5
  • Starter Holy Rod, fire damage 3-5
  • Starter Cane, chaos damage 3-5
  • Starter Truncheon, dark damage 3-5
  • Starter Elemental Rod, fire damage 3-5
  • Starter Spear, piercing damage 3-5
  • Starter Scythe, slashing damage 4-6

[edit] Dialogue

Elona. Land of the Golden Sun.

A land of wealth and bounty.

A land of heroes.

A land protected by its champions, the Order of the Sunspears.

A shadow now falls upon this land.

The shadow of an ancient and forgotten darkness.

Night falls. The time of the Five Gods is at an end.

player: Spearmarshal Kormir!

Kormir: Ahai. It's good to see both of you. You have arrived just in time.

Koss: Nothing that we can't handle, I hope.

Kormir: I have received word that corsairs have been spotted off our coast. Your skills and leadership will be needed.

[edit] Notes

• Once you leave this area, you cannot ever return. When your character is first created, this is the only chance of mapping this area. It should be noted that the Elonian Cartographer title can still be maxed without fully exploring this area.
• Fully exploring this area amounts to 0.8% of Elona. The area can only be explored fully during the "Rally the Recruits" tutorial; the "Take the shortcut" quest does not allow access to the eastern area of the island beyond the resurrection shrine.
